היסטוריה ומקורות
On Rosh Hashanah there is a widespread custom of eating sweet foods, especially honey, to express the wish for "a good and sweet year".1
The honey cake lekach (from a German/Yiddish root meaning "to lick" or "gingerbread") was a common festive cake in Ashkenazi communities and was also served on other joyful occasions.

Strong coffee or tea is added to the batter, sometimes orange zest, nuts or whisky; every family has its own spice ratio.
Sephardi communities have other sweets for Rosh Hashanah, for example candied fruit or pumpkin and quince preserves.
